Automatic resource management of a guest operating system using information in data set indicating minimum system requirement

摘要

A method for an automatic resource management of a virtual machine located as a layer between a physical hardware and at least one guest system, wherein the virtual machine provides an independent virtual hardware for each guest system running on the physical hardware. A data set is provided to the virtual machine by a guest system to be installed, comprising at least information about the minimum system requirements of the guest system. The virtual machine automatically decides, using the information comprised in the data set, if the minimum system requirements of said guest system can be provided by a virtual hardware generated by the virtual machine. At least the requested minimum system requirements of the guest system are provided by the virtual machine that fulfills at least the minimum system requirements of the guest system.
